Reverse circulation drilling or also called reverse air, creates small rock fragments (chips) instead of a solid witness (core). Unlike diamond drilling, it is much faster since it drills with air and not with water. This type of drilling uses much larger equipment, including a large capacity air compressor. Next, learn about the equipment used in reverse circulation drilling.
